My friend and fellow yoga teacher, Rob Owens, published a book last year inspired by (and about) the Yoga Sutras. How exciting to finally have my own copy! I read it in two-days, as my passion for yoga philosophy is strong, and it is rare to find easily-digested spiritual texts. If you are a beginner… Continue reading Higher Consciousness | Book Review

I Didn’t Do Yoga For Five Days
And this is what happened... My back seized up! In one way I wasn't surprised, because we had spent days cleaning, organizing, and re-arranging for the holidays. Of course my back is going to go out, if I'm not doing yoga to compensate for the physical challenges. What did surprise me though, was the fact… Continue reading I Didn’t Do Yoga For Five Days

Yoga in Port Hope
Between 2006 and 2010 I had a lovely yoga space to teach from in Port Hope. I gave it up when I became pregnant, and moved to British Columbia. Closing that space shifted my whole business and when I returned to Port Hope just a few months later I had to begin again - teaching… Continue reading Yoga in Port Hope

There are a few reasons why. The first is, honestly, rentals are just too expensive! The second is, there are… Continue reading Yoga In Cobourg
Why Online Yoga?
As a teacher who was forced to learn the online technology for yoga classes during the Covid Pandemic, I completely understand why people are hesitant to join online. I'll admit, when I went back to teaching in-person I was surprised how many students chose to not return and ended up preferring online classes! These are… Continue reading Why Online Yoga?

When I first started teaching yoga 20+ years ago, I was teaching up to 10 classes a week, each with their own theme, in an attempt to "please" every possible client. The problem was, my passion was for gentle stretching. I loved stillness, silence, and meditation. None-the-less I continued with a variety of things, ultimately… Continue reading Why I don’t believe in competition
Signal vs Noise
Have you heard of this? I just learned about it last week, and it is changing my life and how I feel about business. This was the video I watched if you are interested in learning more for your own business: Diary of a CEO with guest Kevin O'leary. I had never heard of this… Continue reading Signal vs Noise
